Instead of simply paying Bobbitt back, McClure shared the story and established a GoFundMe page that quickly went viral. Less than three weeks later, the fund has raised nearly $400,000 from 14,000 individuals inspired by the Good Samaritan act.

According to an update on the GoFundMe page, Bobbitt will specifically donate money to organizations and individuals who “have helped him get through this rough patch in his life.”

“Everybody out there is facing some kind of struggle, so if I can touch their life, the way mine was touched, [it would be] an amazing feeling,” Bobbitt told Good Morning America. “I want to feel the feeling on the opposite end.”
